Twitch Partners Exclusively With Samsung On Mobile Gaming Events
Samsung is tapping into the mobile gaming audience.
Samsung has become Twitch's exclusive mobile partner in North America and will partner with the streaming platform on a variety of mobile gaming events (via Deadline).
The companies plan to collaborate on Twitch Rivals Mobile Challenges--events where streamers will play popular mobile games--and Mobile Mondays, a reoccurring tournament that will hand out cash prizes to participants. There will also be perks for Galaxy and Twitch users, but what exactly they are is still currently unknown.
A third event type, Mobile Gaming Heroes, will apparently "unveil the next generation of mobile gaming heroes." These individuals will "produce original content, host exclusive streams and participate in select events." Obviously, all events will feature Samsung’s lineup of Galaxy 5G-enabled mobile gaming devices.
